“I LOVE BELLA!”   - Can you believe it?  Our little 1 month old is a genius.  Not only is he physically ahead of his peers - but his first sentence was uttered this morning as he looked up at his adoring aunt.  I don’t doubt why he feels so strongly about this skinny, funny, cute even with short hair, smart little sister of mine.  In fact, I must admit for the past few years I’ve been in awe of her as well.  I think I might even be jealous of her, although mommy says jealousy isn’t so becomming of me.  But that Tristen Kylie Ure - what a great sister to have.  I wish I could be more like her.  I wish I didn’t have to try so hard to crack a joke only to have everyone laughing at me instead of with me.  Not Bella…she opens her mouth and the humor just flows right out of her.  She’s such a charmer!

And she’s gotten so pretty these days.  I told her when she was a freshman in highschool something that I wished someone had told me, I said, “Tristen, your not going to get by on your looks so you better have a dang good personality!”  I take that back now - she could get very far on her looks alone.  She’s like a triple threat…she’s got the personality, the looks, and she’s even a R.M.

I love my sister Bella and I hope my little one grows up to be just like her.  In fact…I’m hoping to grow up and be just like her too!  If only my freckles were more of a brown tone like hers instead of the orange spots I’m covered in.  Oh…and she dresses so cute!  And she can dance!  And she’s my moms favorite!  And she’s my American Idol!!!  I love you Trissy!!!
